📃 A New Year’s Eve tradition

At the end of every year, my wife and I each draw a picture of ourselves, surrounded by all the things we want to achieve in the year ahead. It’s a nice exercise, and a nice thing to look back on, but before I do that I have some stuff for you! First, two blog posts:

1. Should pagination take you to a new page?
2. The final nail in the HTML5 document outline coffin

From the archives

Next, something from the archives. In the summer, I wrote about some of the laws that govern accessibility. It was a tricky one to get right, in terms of balancing ease-of-reading with all the references to gnarly legislation, but I hope I got it right: Making sense of accessibility and the law.

Elsewhere on the web

And finally, here are some of the more interesting bits and bobs that I came across from around the web during December:

• Meeting WCAG is an achievement
• 2026 Predictions: The Next Big Shifts in Web Accessibility
• Early signs of EAA enforcement across Europe
• You can’t opt-out of accessibility
• HTMHell Advent Calendar 2025 (24 posts in one!)

Anyway, I’m off to get my pencils out to do some drawing! See you next year (at the end of January 😉) ✏️
